Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Israeli counterpart on the case of Fayez Sharary.

The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson), has not discussed this particular case with the Israeli Foreign Minister. However, our Ambassador in Israel has raised Mr Sharary's case with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and officials in country are in contact with the local authorities and continue to monitor the case closely.
